Description

Defendant brings forward five assignments of error. First, he contends the trial court erred by refusing to allow him to assert his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination in response to questions asked during cross-examination. In a related assignment of error, he contends the trial court erred by allowing the district attorney to comment during closing argument on defendant's attempt to assert this privilege. Next, defendant assigns error to the trial court's comment on certain portions of the evidence in the presence of the jury. Defendant's final assignments of error relate to the sentences imposed. He contends the trial court abused its discretion in determining that the aggravating factor outweighed the mitigating factors. He also assigns error to the imposition of a sentence in excess of the presumptive term on the conviction for the sale of cocaine as the court did not make separate findings of aggravating and mitigating factors for this offense. We hold that defendant received a fair trial, free from prejudicial error. However, we remand for resentencing on defendant's conviction for the sale of cocaine.
